Josh here: Sadly, we didn't get PG back in August. We gave up for a few months but have managed to scrape together the $700 for a try this month. And...wait for it....we are using clomid this time. 150mg of clomid, to be exact. After the last few tries and the progesterone tests show her levels to be a little low (aka the quality of the egg is not the best). So, after consultation with the doc they suggested clomid. We have read that the higher dosages don't cause one to have more eggs necessarily. We are both hopeful that He will bless us with 1 baby, though I am pretty sure we could survive twins again.
We will keep you updated, we expect to do the insemination at home near Thanksgiving...

About Me

I’m Josh and this was my wife, Jessica’s, blog. I stole it. I’m 28 years old, I am a son, brother, & father. I have struggled fought with my weight for literally as long as I can remember. I have always been over weight. I have tried losing weight before, maybe 20 times, but failed each time. Jessica and I have tried to lose weight before and we failed. I have 3 daughters- an 11 (going on 15) year old and twin 2 and half year olds- and I want to show them, WE want to show them, it’s okay to try and fail, but you pick up the pieces and try again- until you win, until you reach your goals.
We started our journey towards weight loss and being healthy on January 2nd. It’s the middle of May. I’ve lost 49 lbs, Jessica has lost 35 lbs. We are still actively trying to lose weight and be healthy, we both want to lose more and gain strength. So far, our journey has been both rough and amazing.
I hope my story, OUR story, will inspire others.
